How? It started with a mild winter, which segued into an unusually WARM spring. We had temps in the upper 70s most of March (a good 30-35 degrees warmer than the norm), and even hit 85 one day. In March! Now the temps have dropped off into the 60s, but even that is still above normal for spring in April.

The only problem with all the fruit trees flowering already is, if we get a sudden cold snap with a hard freeze, it will be the end to the fruit crop this year. Apple growers are especially on edge right now.
